"Let's talk about the candidates for the fill-in guests first." In the conference room, Xu Rui sat in the first place, his eyes skimmed over the main creative team on both sides of the conference table, and said without a trace of expression on his face.

"Because the first phase of the singer Li Keqin was successfully unveiled, the second phase of the replacement singer selected the Taihai singer Cao Ge. He has little resistance to variety shows, and he is also happy to interpret his favorite music on the stage of "The Masked Singer". ”

A staff member at the scene who was in charge of inviting singers stood up to answer Xu Rui's question.

"What about the third, fourth, and fifth installments?" Xu Rui was not satisfied with the staff's answer.

"It's really good to choose Cao Ge to fill the position in the second phase, but for a total of eleven episodes of the program, aside from the finals and semi-finals, we need at least one singer per week to complete the recording of the overall program."

"The singers after the second phase are in contact and are already talking." Seeing Xu Rui's frowns, the staff member didn't dare to slack off, and explained again and again.

"Tell me who you want." Except for the six singers recorded in the first episode, Xu Rui has not participated too much in the affairs of inviting singers since then, and it is simply unrealistic for him to do all the work alone, not to mention that Xu Rui does not have the energy.

His role is to maintain the normal operation of the show, so as to exchange for ratings influence, this kind of thing is the producer's duty for Xu Rui, if he really does everything himself, then he simply does chores, why bother to climb to this position.

"The singers who are currently in contact are Sha Baoliang, Li Chunbo, Tan Weiwei, Yang Zongwei, and other singers are still in contact."

Hearing the staff's answer, Xu Rui nodded secretly.

Although the efficiency is lower, but fortunately, these people did not casually find a few idol singers to prevaricate themselves, although Tan Weiwei and Yang Zongwei's qualifications are a little shallow, but they are indeed singers who can be called good singers in the new generation.

"In this way, when you select singers for competition, you should not always limit your eyes to the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Malay singers, Singaporean singers, and Korean singers are also among your choices."

A thought jumped out of Xu Rui's mind, and then he spoke.

Xu Rui's words instantly plunged the entire conference room into a brief silence.

Originally, "The Masked Singer" was just a competition between top singers in China. But now, after Xu Rui's proposal, the whole show has become an open platform.

A hundred flowers are blooming, regardless of nationality, regardless of nationality, as long as the artist is brave enough and has strength, you can participate.

"Produced by Xu. I'm afraid this is a bad proposal, right? Tang Bin said with some hesitation. Like Singaporean singers and Malaysian singers, it's okay to say that some of them are developing in our own country, but Korean singers ......"

"What's wrong with the Korean singer?" Xu Rui smiled slightly and asked rhetorically.

In fact, how could Xu Rui not understand the meaning of Tang Bin's words. After all, "The Masked Singer" is also a competition after all.

And since it is a competition, it naturally has wins and losses, and it is good that the Chinese people won, but if the Koreans won the championship of the finals, it is indispensable that everyone will be criticized by radio and television.

"Korean singer in case...... I mean, if we happen to win the championship, we don't feel like we will have an audience to explain to us! Tang Bin said embarrassedly.

"Who can say for sure about the competition, and we can't control the results, Xu Producer, are we slow, don't think about it so much for the time being?"

"Think big?" Xu Rui shrugged his shoulders and put on an innocent expression on his face.

"It's me who thinks big. Or are you complicating the simple question, do you know how much benefit our entire team can bring if the rights to the show "The Masked Singer" can be sold? ”

"Producer Xu, do you mean......" Tang Bin asked as if he didn't understand. Are you planning to sell the rights to The Masked Singer overseas? Ahem...... This matter should be led by the station. ”

"That's right, but this kind of good thing, will Taili refuse?"

Xu Rui smiled loudly, then looked away, looked at the people in the conference room, and said: "We have to zoom in, whether the game is won or lost actually has little impact on the show."

We do the show, not control the show. Since you are participating in a competition, you should be prepared to lose in the first place.

You can't just say it's unfair just because someone else sings better than you and is better than you, right? It is the work of the weak, the work of those who are incompetent. Big fish eat little fish. Survival of the fittest, it's a competition, there's nothing to complain about.

And if the gimmick of Chinese and foreign PK is properly operated, it is not even lower than the mystery of the mask, and if the eleven episodes of the program are recorded smoothly, then we can start preparing for the second season. ”

"This ......" listened to Xu Rui's words. Tang Bin opened his mouth for a while and didn't say a complete word.

Yes, he was indeed shocked, I have to say that Xu Rui dares to think and do it enough, his idea seems to have many uncontrollable factors, and it is also very risky, but as long as it is successful, then the brand of the four words "The Masked Singer" will be completely out.

A variety show is often not just about entertaining the public, it actually reflects the strength and heritage of a TV station at a deeper level.

Hu Provincial Satellite TV has two ace variety shows "Happy Camp" and "Everyday Upward", and Zhejiang Satellite TV Blueberry Station also has programs like "I Love to Remember Lyrics" to represent its own characteristics.

As one of the three major TV stations, Jiang Provincial Satellite TV, compared with these two, there is no doubt that it is undoubtedly much worse in the field of variety shows.

There are three categories of TV programs, news, variety shows, and TV dramas.

News is broadcast on every station in real time, and every TV series can be put on as long as it spends money to buy the right to show it, but in the end, there is actually only one fight, which is actually the field of variety shows.

And this point is precisely the weakness of Jiang Provincial Satellite TV, and it is also the weakness of most domestic TV stations.

"If it is really as Xu Producer just said, then our "Masked Singer" will undoubtedly be a business card of Jiang Provincial Satellite TV in the future.

Just like mentioning "Happy Camp" and "Everyday Upward", you will think of Lake Provincial Satellite TV. This is a brand-level variety show! Tang Bin hissed and took a deep breath.

"That's right, we just want to create a brand variety show that can represent Jiang Provincial Satellite TV!" The corners of Xu Rui's mouth rose, and he said with a little pride. (To be continued.) )
